FOUNDATIONS OF SKINCARE: CLEANSER 101

With a myriad of cleansers saturating the market, selecting the ideal one for your skin can be quite the challenge. Just like SPF shields your skin from harm, a good cleanser preps your skin, allowing your treatment products to work effectively. It’s not just about washing; it’s about a thorough cleanse, taking at least 60 seconds to rid your skin of the day's grime and pollutants.

At The A’esthetic, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of cleansers, each tailored to cater to specific skin needs beyond mere cleansing.

 

EVERYDAY CLEANSERS

These cleansers are great as your first cleanse! They remove all of the makeup, pollution, and oils built up throughout the day.

Skin Better Cleansing Gel: This option is perfect for sensitive or compromised skin. Unlike traditional foaming cleansers, it won’t strip your skin of moisture, thanks to its mild, sulfate-free surfactants.

iS Clinical Cream Cleanser: Ideal for sensitive or inflamed skin types, this gentle cleanser doesn’t require rinsing with water. It’s also adept at removing eye makeup while nourishing and fortifying the skin barrier.

GlyMed Plus Vitamin C Cleanser: Suited for all skin types, especially acne-prone, this hydrating cleanser not only deep-cleanses but also reduces inflammation and redness. Plus, its delightful scent reminiscent of an orange creamsicle is a bonus!

iS Clinical Cleansing Complex: Suitable for all skin types, this cleanser contains salicylic and glycolic acids for mild exfoliation without stripping natural oils. Its antioxidant properties further shield the skin while effectively removing makeup.

 

TREATMENT CLEANSERS

Treatment cleansers help to target specific concerns and, depending on your routine and concerns, you may not be using it everyday. 

iS Clinical Warming Honey Cleanser: Luxurious and versatile, this option can double as a mask. With sustainably sourced honey and papaya enzymes, it gently exfoliates while cleansing. Perfect for eczema sufferers, it also boasts antibacterial properties.

GlyMed Plus Idyllic Cleanser: Deep-cleansing without drying, this option minimizes pores and controls acne-causing bacteria. Mandelic acid offers gentle exfoliation and aids in pigmentation reduction, suitable for various skin types.

GlyMed Plus Clear Skin Cleanser: Highly effective against acne, this cleanser not only clears congested skin but also promotes healing. With 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, it targets acne-causing bacteria, making it an excellent choice for acne management.

 

CLEANSING ADD-ON

Hale Derma Pre and Post Treatment Spray: A great product for gym goers or anyone who's always on the move. It kills bacteria, promotes healing and reduces the risk of infection and breakouts. Great for even the most compromised skin!

Evolve Cosmetics Clean Face Cloths: These single-use, biodegradable cloths can be used wet or dry. They remove makeup with ease, no tugging or scrubbing needed! Frangrance-free and chemical-free means you're free from irritation while avoiding the buildup of harmful germs found in traditional wash cloths.

 

If you find yourself overwhelmed by the choices, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with one of our estheticians. They can help pinpoint the perfect cleanser for your unique skin needs.
